Yes, the SmartDeploy Client will automatically collect static IP and DNS address information from the Windows OS of the endpoint where it is running. If the user performs a console-initiated deployment from the Computer Management view, the SmartDeploy Client will pass through this information to SmartPE, where it will be automatically applied to the same network adapter.
The network-based deployment will proceed automatically, and the same static IP and DNS information will be applied to the deployed OS.
This passthrough behavior will occur automatically for console-initiated deployments to all endpoints with a static IP address configured, as long as they are running SmartDeploy Client version 3.0.1030 or later, and is not intended to be user-configurable. You should not configure a static IP address in the answer file, as the static IP passthrough feature will supersede it.
